In these Jaya of general interest in things military, it is interesting to !mow that certain animals are goy erred by what Appear to bo almost military regulations. Among animals only the gregarious, of come, show qualities of leadership and discipline. Wild horses obey their leader more a serious matter. Many mothers who implicitly than any, soldiers however are on the go from morning to night, well disciplined. Mustangs are wary, Whose work, apparently, is never done, ALL MOTHERS NEED CONSTANT STRENGTH Their Strength is Taxed and They are Victims of Weak - nese and Sui'fering Wbei there is a growing family to care for and the mother %alis ill it is difficult to approach, and almost 1m - possible to capture, owing to the dee votion with which they follow their leader and to a eode of signals that they never disregard. A. short, shrill neigh la the com- mend to flee; a long -drawn, far -carry- ing neigh is the rallying call when the try to disguise'' their suffering and keep up an appearance of cheerfulness before their family: Only themselves know how they are distressed by backaehes and headaches, dragging down pains and nervous weaknessl how their nights are often sleepless, eat red a squeal orders the and they arise to a now day's work, herd is s to ; q tired, depressed and quite unrefresb- stallions to stand ready to fight off dangerous beasts; and e wild snort in- dicatee the sight or scent of man. The snort of a mustang can be heard half a mile or more. Certain movements are also impor- tant as signals. At the first hint of danger, the horse that, detects' it, there is none can equal Dr. Williams' throws his head and tail high in the ed. Such women should know that their sufferings are usually due to lack of ,good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all medicines air, stands motionless, and gazes fix- edly in the direction from which he anticipates trouble.. Usually that is enough to put the entire herd on the alert. Should the enemy prove to be bears, wolves, or any foe against which the drove can defend itself, the "signal horse" dashes forward, pranc- ing from side to side, rearing, and striking the ground. Should their most dreaded enemy, man, be 'ap- proaching, the horse will circle tar in toward the main .body, and as he turns for ono last .look 'he will snort out a trumpet -like blast. Then with' a rush, a roar, and a clatter of hoofs, the entireherd is gone—the leader in front, the stallions in the rear, the colts in the middle. Even old, well-trained work horses when turned out to pasture will gen- erally select a leader and be governed by him. The herd -commander may be an old and gentle mare or the wild- est and wariest horse of the drove. In the latter case the herd often be- comes almost• as difficulttohandle as so many wild horses, whereas the old mare will keep her drove in the most. tractable conditions. The peccaries of Mexico have a battle ery that is never disobeyed—a short, vicious- squeal, quickly repeat- ed, and kept up without ceasing. That noise drives the little beasts frantic; all within hearing rush to get into the fray, and nothing short of death stops their charge. If the hunter does not shoot his peccary so dead that it cannot emit a single 'lying squeal, his only safety lies in instant flight. The peccary has also a not that sounds the retreat. It is a grunt some- thing like the "woof! woof! woof!" of a bear as he dashes away from dan- ger. An American guide who lives in Sonora, in Mexico, can imitate that note, and says that he can stampede a gang of the brutes at will with it. The baboons of Africa probably • have the best military regulations of any of the animals. While they are feeding in a dangerous place, they set sentries on every side—big wise, vet- eran baboons that sit perfectly quiet and keep a vigilant watch. At a sharp bark of warning from one of these outposts, every ape ceases his occupa- tion; even the babies hush their cries on the instant. At another bark, all may resume work or play; or, again, the second note may carry a different •71., message; then the leader gives an order, and all retreat rapidly to the denser parts of the forest. When travelling, these creatures have both a front and a' rear guard. A. half dozen powerful apes scout well in front of the main body, now in- specting the woods from the ground, now climbing to the tops of the tall- est trees. If the traveller comes on a tribe of baboons, he usually sees only one of the scouts, which bares is teeth savagely, y, barks once, and i s 4,£oe. Farther away,the huntermaY 'observe the whipping of branches, as 1Pr the rest of the tribe retreat so rapid - es ty that no man can overtake them. 'dhould the.oiiserver happen upon the rear guard, he will observe that they behave differently from the scouts. Not silent or cautious, they constantly give quick, sharp commands, now ' angrily chiding some lagging young- ster, or giving another a slap and a bite. As far as we know, the baboons are the only apes or other animals that post a sentry at night. Commonly, they sleep in caves among the cliffs, and when all have retired to met, you may be sure that one of their number will be wide awake, sitting on some exposed reek or other point of van `age from which he can see in every direction. Not even the leopard, the most determined foe of the baboon, dares to attack them at night 'unless he can surprise and kill the sentry. When attacked, they will fight in.de- fense of their families until the last "man" is dead. gnn 10t"•es A Logical Lunatic. stenogentice frequently return =us- -temp sphere o, .yore, says the superiutondent m -tem a IL.

Strasser; Acton West, Ont., says: "I am the mother of three children, and after each birth I became terribly run down; I had weak, thin blood, al- ways felt tired, and unable to do my household work. After the _birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly run down. I was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found •the greatest benefit from the Pills, and soon gained my old-time strength.- Indeed, after tak- ing them I felt as well as in my &l - hood, and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tab- lets for my little ones, and have found them a splendid medicine for child- hood ailments," You can get these pills through any medicine dealer.or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. GHOSTS ON ALLIES' SIDE. So Says Trench Writer, Quoting Ger- man Prophecies. Such a showing, in times like these, is little short of remarkable, a* must be accepted' as an indication of the strong organization and valuable con- nections which the Royal Bank has tercet in the war, as shown by the steadily bdilt up throughout he profuse display of maps in his Twiek world. Of particular interest in this enham mansion, and it is superfluous regard is the satisfactory development to.add that his sympathies are on the of the important connections whieh side of the country where he has made the Bank possesses in Cuba and West Indies.

To hear him on shirkers is assets and cash as well as in total. quite a revelation on the elasticity of the English language. It is true to say that rarely has "Even the ghosts have pronounced Germany's doom," writes "Le Masque de Fee," who goes on to say that a collection of German spiritualistic prophecies has been found in France. One collection, published in Leipzig in 1914, has a title the translation of which is: "The Universal War in Pro- phecy: Historical and Critical Studies of All the Predicitons Regarding the Universal War, and the Future of the German People." Instead of prophe- sying a German triumph, the predic- tions are said to be all the other way. It is also recorded that on January 12, 1909, R. Knapp of Oottenhoefen pub- lished in Zeitshrift fuer Okkultisme a series of "spirit communications," one of which says that the universal war will break out when least expected, accompanied by disasters the like of ryhich mankind has never known be- fore, and that "Germany will become so small that all its people can live in a single city." "Le Masque de For" adds: "Let us see to it that that city shall not be Paris." Gunpowder as Medicine. The use of gunpowder as medicine was very widely advocated in the eighteenth century, and, either taken inwardly or applied externally, was held to be a specific against rheuma- tism and ague. In the "Compleat Housewife or Accomplished Gentle- woman's Companion," a domestic pharmacopeia, published in 1712, ap- pears the following remedy for rheu- matism: "Let the party take of the finest glazed gunpowder as much as a large thimble may hold; wet it in a spoon with milk from the cow and drink a good half' pint of warm milk after it; be covered warm in bed, and sweat; give it fasting about 7 in the morning and take this nine or ten mornings together."

Profit and Loss Statement. Features of Strength.. In the statement of tweet/ and lie- bilitiet almost every aeeount seems to. contribute something to the general strength of the whole exhibit, Of more particular interest are the etrik- ing gains made in liquid aseote, de- posits, total Bail and current loans, and, in consequence, in the 'total its, sets of the Bank. ' The assets reached .a new high level at $198,299,123, compared with $179,- 404,054 at the end of the previous year, a gain of practically $20,000,- 000, 01 the total amount liquid as- sets reached a record level by touch- ing $84,894,402, equivalent to 49,03% of liabilities to the public, against $71,244,677 or 46.00% last year. In - eluded in the liquid assets were actual cash holdings of $31,923,680, equal to 18.43% of liabilities to the public, np from $27,683,855 or 17,0055 in 1914. The deposit in the central gold reserve was increased by a million, bringing it up to $3,000,000.

That's what fresh air is for. The fearsome legend About the belefal influence of ''might air" is only another of the cerefuily nursed insanitary bequests from our ancestors, according to Senior Sur- geon Banks of the United States Pub- Ile Health Service. When this superstition arose may only be surmised. Perhaps it is a survival of the primeval cult of sun worship, which led the ancients to fear anything outside the !inhere of solar influence. Our forbears were wont to caution their offspring to "be careful about the night air," or chil- dren were ordered to "come in out of the night air." This idea is generally prevalent, and even one of our well-known flowers is loaded down with the hole. expansion is afforded by the growth in rible name of "Deadly Nightshade" as a sort of verbal relic; of this old no- tion. The low-lying mist or fog that sometimes gathers about the surface of the earth under certain atmos- pheric conditions, after sunset, was held—is held—to be "miasmatic" and pregnant with lethal possibilities. The night air, minus the sun, is no different from the atmosphere of a sunless day. The atmasphereic en- velope of the earth does not change from benign to malign in the twink- ling of an eye after sundown. A story from the trenches in France is that a soldier wrote home to his wife to open her windows at night, as he had found that the night air "didn't hurt one bit." That is the experience of all the advocates of this 1 sensible custom—once tried the old custom of sealing oneself in an, air- tight bedroom is never renewed. • Diseases which involve the lungs can usually be traced to their begin- ning in poorly ventilated sleeping apartments, inside rooms that do not have a share of the atmosphere. Those emancipated persons who open their windows at night will tell you, unanimously, that they cannot breaths in a chamber unless the win- dow is raised; their sense of comfort and vigor demands the life-giving qualities of fresh air, deposits, whieh amounted to over $18,000,000 in the year, the deposits not bearing interest leaving increased to $37,456,997 from. $31,224,129, and deposits bearing interest to $117,519,- 830 from $164,827,078, making a to- tal of $154,976,327, against $136,051,- 208. As indicated by the increase in earning power, there were substan- tial gains in total call and current loans, the call loans bath in and out- side of Canada having advanced to $18,951,000, against $14,654,000, and total current loans in and outside of Canada $106,551,000, against $99,587,- 000, an increase of close to $7,000,000• Looked upon as one of the younger of the bigger Banks, the Royal has certainly made phenomenal strides, and its ability to exhibit such a state- ment under the conditions that pre- vailed during the .past year augur well for its further growth and ex- pansion once conditions in the coun- try become more normal The principal accounts, with com- parisons with previous year, are as follows: - 1914. 1915.
